Correct answer

  • CSí, para calmarlas y darles apoyo.Yes, to calm them and give them support.
Explanation

Yes. As well as raising the alarm and protecting the scene, you should stay with the injured, talk to them and reassure them until help arrives: anxiety can make their condition worse. Article 129 of the General Traffic Regulations (RGC) requires you to help the victims as far as possible.
